Top 31 Motivation Hacks

Top 31 Motivation Hacks

Here are 31 of the most powerful motivation hacks you can use to increase productivity and attain greater fulfillment in life.  I have picked some of the most useful tips from quality blogs and classic texts (so some may sound familiar) and added a few We The Change nuggets.  Enjoy!

31. Make it FUN

You will never be motivated to do something that makes you feel sad, scared, depressed or bored.  So find a way to make the project exciting.  If you can not, consider a way to achieve the top-line objective in a different manner, one that does not entail such drudgery!

30. Make a habit of visualization

One of the most powerful motivation tools which most people simply do not employ.  Set aside 5 minutes each day and practice seeing yourself achieve your loftiest goals.  This will be hard at first, but will eventually the mind will de-clutter and lead you down a much clearer path.

29. Get a buddy with similar goals

Can you do it alone?  Absolutely!  But, goals are easier to accomplish when you work in tandem with a partner who has synergistic objectives.  And they are out there; all you have to do is look and ask!

28. Cultivate patience

No matter how motivated you are, things do not always happen immediately or when you want them.  Therefore it is absolutely imperative to develop great patience, and allow your goals to manifest naturally.

27. Get a life coach or business mentor

Life coaching and business counseling is taking off, and for good reason!  These individuals are trained to listen and help you take pr

oductive action.  From my experience, attaining a good life coach is motivation in its purest form.

26. Create smaller, manageable tasks

It is so easy to get lost in a sea of inactivity when we are constantly thinking about the big, massive goals we set for ourselves.  It is certainly OK to create long-term goals, but make sure you constantly bring your attention to the smaller, actionable tasks that move you forward.

25. Get into nature, frequently

Spend 10 minutes looking up at the stars on a very clear night.  OR, take a ½ hour and lie by the beach listening to the waves roll in.  OR, go for a walk in the woods.  When doing this, be there fully and soak in the natural beauty that is all around you.  Is there anything more motivating than this?

24. Take a class

People lose motivation because they are bored.  Taking a class in something that interests you is a wonderful way to “un-bore” yourself.

23. Be conscious of your urges to STOP, expect them

No matter how motivated you are, there will be moments when you will lose it.  That’s OK—in fact, the most productive people expect these down cycles and learn from them.  When this happens to you, be patient and figure out what activity can snap you out of it.

22. Ask for the honest advice of people you respect!

Another nugget of wisdom that most people forget about—TAKE ADVICE, especially from people that you respect.  You will come away with a different perspective of your mission, and feel freshly motivated!

21. When you take time off, do not even think about it

You need to take breaks in order to manifest fresh ideas.  When resting, REALLY rest and train your brain not to think about your larger ambitions.  This will also be hard to do at first, but can benefit you greatly in the long-term.
